The Real Estate Investmen Trust funds registered under this regime and comply with the provisions of the law are exempt from the payment of income tax and additionally their investors, exempt from the payment of taxes on capital gains.

The investments have been directed mainly to the acquisition of land with industrial zoning in sectors near the new terminals of the international airport of Tocumen and the line 2 of the Metro of Panama.
